It is my understanding that you would need to pay for additional health coverage being a visitor. If your partner is working, his employer may offer coverage. I believe that people working in Canada on a visa can apply for a Health Card in the province they're living in.
There are health coverage plans available for people with pre-existing conditions.
You should contact Health Canada (Toll Free 1-866-225-0709 or www.hc-sc.gc.ca)
Explain your situation, and they will be able to advise you on your options.

So... My partner might have the opportunity to go work in canada. He does not have hep c, nor do our 2 children but i do. I have had it for around 18 years but do not require treatment now as all my results are good. Would i have problems with going , would i have health care there and what are the costs of treatment if i needed it in the future? Any help and info greatly appreciated
